Relational Tables:
The relation between numbers of tables in a database is called Relational tables.
By using relational tables we can perform join operations on database tables and get optimized results which are required.
Relational tables solve the joining of table’s problem by verifying the combination of primary and foreign key in the tables being joined.
I used these relational tables in assignments like working with chinook database, where the queries are written for optimizing various results by joining tables.
Joining of tables in SQL Databases we generally use these concepts. Data Retrieval form database by comparing different tables these concept is very helpful.
These concept goes down where the joining is applied on very large

Using of Index values where the size of database increases for storing these values separately and separate handling should be there for these values when alter to a data occurs.
Altering of data may be update, delete or change of the complete structure of table.
Covering Index:
A Covering Index contains possibly more, the columns you need for your query to perform faster.
A covering index is that which contains all the data needed for a query and original table is never needed to be consulted.
Covering index solve the problem of more tables in database and query search delays.
These is achieved by creating a covering index, where tables are combined into one with common in between both and the new column is also given as index value.
These concept I used when performing assignments of TODO.
Good for reducing the size of Database that is optimization by reduction. Also bad thing is creation of another table for maintaining these index values.
Foreign Key: Foreign key is a constraint that is used to enforce exists relationship between tables.
These Foreign key is enforced on a table while creation itself where it simplify that it is creating an connection between two tables as its importing the data properties.
Foreign key constraint has an exception if the table in which the key is primarily defined is NULL then the table corresponding to it should have entry.
We used these concept in very
Relational Database Management Systems are probably the ones that we are most familiar with in 21st century computer science. Relational databases store
A relational database is a database that consists of a collection of tables with columns showing entities, and rows showing data. This type of database uses a primary key and foreign key. The foreign key in another table will point to the primary key of a table, and this is how tables can relate to each other. This permits for one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationship between the data. An advantage of relational databases includes the ease of adding or modifying new tables and entities without needing to change the structure of the database already in place. Relational database have many features, including indexing, setting data type, and setting validation tests, all these help to ensure data integrity.
If we consider an example of a database for billing the claims to the provider, we have two tables in the database as ‘Claims’ and ‘Provider’. ‘Claims’ have the claim information such as (ClaimNumber, ClaimType, Type of service, Admission details) and ‘Provider’ have the provider information such as (ProviderID, FederalTaxID, NPI, PointOfService). The primary keys for ‘Claims’ is “ClaimNumber” and for ‘Provider’ is “ProviderID”.
This step includes the task of describing a subset of data for each type of user based on his/her privileges and requirements. This is done to ensure that no additional information is given to the user. Views provide a level of abstraction to the database.
First our team will talk about how Microsoft Access was used to create these tables by Huffman Trucking Database. Then how we used the tables with made up information to be tested on. Then on how we used forms in the maintenance database system. While the creation of relationships and normalization is explained in the process of using queries to search the database (University of Phoenix, 2007).
Data Redundancy: Data redundancy is where a duplicate of information is sorted into different tables/databases. Sometimes data redundancy is done on purpose as a backup of data as a precaution just in case something happens and the data gets deleted. Data redundancy creates a new piece of data so that any modifications, addition of new data or deletion of data will be done on a new piece so that you will always have the
Except where indicated, use MySQL Query Browser to perform each operation and print the results.
Indexing was extensively used. All queries were analyzed using the query plans and costs. Based on this information, appropriate indexing techniques were used on appropriate tables. Indexing was avoided on tables which had multiple data inserts or deletes on them.
Firstly a relational database contains a set of tables which basically are linked collectively by the relationships between the tables. Also it is also known as reason such as a database is called relational database.
Databases allow us to easily store and retrieve data in a purely digital format. The strength of this is that large amounts of data can be stored and retrieved with minimal effort on the part of the user. Opposed to manually flipping through files, one can quickly pull up the requested data through a computer program. Many systems that were conventionally paper and file based have been converted to a digital format which are now stored in one or more databases.
In this work, the SQL select query is used to highlight how querying using SQL is used in data sorting and filtering in any database. From the database there were several entity relationships observed. Each user borrows one book at a time but the user may have one or many borrowing record. Each borrow record must belong to only one user and each book may have one or many reservation and each borrow record must belong to only one book though each book may have one or many borrow record.
( Query Optimization in Database Systems) To sum it up query optimization is important so that these costs can be reduced as much as possible even as the amount of data increases.
A Database, support query optimization technique (Jeffery A. Hoffer, V. Ramesh, Heikki Topi, 2010). An index is a pointer to the data in a table, and it is an access mechanism that helps to find out where a record present. A database can have one or more indexes connected with it. A database index is one type of data structure, it is used to improve the performance of the database, and it can help quick retrieval operations in the database. An index can be created using one column or multiple columns in a database table. Additionally, index is used to create table filed
To extract data from multiple tables, join and semi join operations are used. The different kinds of joins can be described as self-join, inner join, outer join, equi-join etc. of which equi-join is the frequently used join. Semi-join is more significant in relational theory. Semi-join reduces the size of relation while it increases the processing cost and the number of messages.
